“I believe life is meant to be felt deeply and lived freely — not just followed.”
I’m Terry Baek — a designer, DJ, and traveler shaped more by feeling than by form. I believe life is meant to be felt deeply and lived freely — not just followed. Wherever I go — through cities, coastlines, silence, and sound — I’m searching for something true:
beauty that moves the heart, connection that transcends words, freedom that doesn’t ask permission.
I once studied architecture — drawn to the idea of shaping space and meaning. But over time, I realized I wasn’t trying to build buildings — I was trying to design a life: one with rhythm, soul, spontaneity, and emotion. I stepped away from systems that never fit, and began carving my own path — merging design, music, and movement into one continuous expression.
My DJ sets drift toward melodic house — warm bass, emotional depth, cinematic atmosphere. I don’t dream of strobe-lit clubs. I dream of playing barefoot on cliffs at sunset, of dancing in foreign lands where strangers become friends, of soundtracks that make people close their eyes and remember who they are.
Design, to me, is no different. It’s not about trends or noise — it’s about essence. I create with minimalism, honesty, and a blend of Eastern and Western sensibilities.
Good design should feel like breathing. Like stillness. Like clarity.
This site isn’t about marketing. It’s a living archive — of my journey, my sound, my thoughts, and my becoming.
Here is where I gather everything I’m learning, as I unlearn. As I roam. As I return to myself — again and again.
